And then theres all the stuff in the garage....

Put it in a trailer, then go to the dump :fuzz:

 

Haha, nice rocking horse too haha. I had to do a big clean up to put 1 Corolla in my shed, then I scored another Corolla so it was a bit of effort. Just put it all away somewhere. The quicker you do that, the quicker you can work on the rolla.

 

 

OK then, its been a while but at least somethings happened recently.

Some new rims off of eBay for $100 they have a bit of crap on them, but i think we're gonna get them sandblasted or something then paint the spoke-things.

Not sure what colour we're gonna paint it, but i'm thinking of painting the rims goldish and the car black? Anyway heres a pic. (Might get some of the whole set and the inner hubcap things.)

found em.

tomorrow we're gonna see what they look like on the car(still without tyres.)

Doesn't look as good in the photo with the caps on. :wink:

On Ya Astro!

 

You have given me the inspiration to do up my '79 KE55. I thought she was past it, but she isn't half as bad as yours, and I might do my own work.

 

Look forward to seeing your process and the finished product.

 

Good Luck!!

Yay stuffs happening. :P

Got the garage, weatherproofed it and stuff.

Then today... on the 17th of march... The Project finally started, on Saint Patricks day too! :(

removed pretty much everything on the back and organised the bits in bags and stuff, took photos to remind me where stuff goes when i put it all back together.

 

I did it on my own, yeeeeeeaaaaah boiii! and my old man helped me with a few tricky bits.

BEFORE:

 

AFTER:

 

 

Now i have to go do my english homework...

 

will update soonish.

 

Thanks!

 

 

edit: pretty much i will be dismantling it with help from my dad, restoring panel by panel, then the shell, paint it a nice colour (havent chosen yet, mebbeh gun metal or silver or something shiny?), fix up the interior, fix up trim-shiny-little-bits-and-pieces and mebbeh some day i'll put some nice gadgets and soooop-up the engine.

Over the last 2 days i've done some more stuff,

 

Got all the trim off, all in one piece aswell as those grill/fin thingos on the back.

 

My dog decided he would help.

Everything off the front.

 

Took all the wheels off and put the car up on stands

Looking good there mate. Good start.

As for colour, I vote gun metal gray. That would look sweet.
